Great fan, great features, poor base design.
This fan is a nice grey which makes it less intrusive than white and doesn't show the dust as much. It is not whisper quiet, but when you are moving a column of air through a grille that can't be helped.
I would have liked some instructions on what the 'modes' signify, but since I bought a 'customer returned' box maybe they got lost. I have no idea what 'natural' or 'sleep' means. I just leave it on low, enjoy the breeze and let the white noise lulll me to sleep.
I LOVE THE REMOTE! Such bliss to be able to change the speed, oscillation, or on/off switch without getting out of bed, or up from the desk. Being slim it takes up little room, though I would have liked it to be a bit taller but more importantly, more stable!
The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that the round base, upon which the fan revolves when oscillation, is very flimsy. It is in 2 halves which do not click firmly together or fit firmly into the column, and every time I move the fan they break apart and/or drop off, which makes it a pain to move. If they go, the whole thing will be useless.
The base is also not well finished underneath, so trying to drag the fan over the floor to avoid lifting it is not very successful either.
Apart from this, the fan functions very well, and I'm very happy I have it in this hot weather.
